Abstract

At Temple University Libraries (TUL), librarian Fred Rowland began conducting interviews and sharing them as streaming audio through TUL’s website around the year 2007. Content includes interviews with students and scholars working in a wide range of areas from archaeology, the classics, digital humanities, and physics, to religious studies, tuna in America, and urban planning. Rowland’s interviews offer valuable insights into the latest chapters of the human record. This interview, with two of the founding editors of the noteworthy journal n+1 (Couch, 2008), provides a unique perspective into a growing area of involvement for libraries: publishing.
